SSH Telnet

Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol that is used to execute commands on a remote hosting server or to exchange info between a web server and a client. As the information exchanged by the 2 sides is encoded, a third party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favorite means of managing an Internet hosting account. The commands that could be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, for example, the alternatives are limited since you shall not have root access to the machine, so you can simply create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, import and export databases, and so forth. They're all actions which are carried out inside the shared hosting account and do not require a higher level of access. Using a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll have the option to set up server-side software or to restart the web server or only a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, but if you don't employ a UNIX-like OS, there are a lot of applications for other OSs, which you can employ to connect to the remote hosting server as well.

If the shared hosting package that you’ve picked throughout the signup procedure features SSH access by default, you will be able to activate this function with just a mouse click within your Hepsia Control Panel. If you've selected a different package, the SSH access feature may be included using the Upgrades menu and it'll become available right away. All the details which you need connect shall be conveniently listed within the SSH section of the Control Panel - the hostname, the username and the port number. You can also set what password to use from the same location and you'll be able to change it anytime. All the commands that are allowed are listed within the Help articles that we've prepared for you, together with examples of the syntax which you must use. An additional advantage of enabling SSH access to your account is that you shall be able to upload files through an SFTP connection.
